Monday Meal Plan

Happy Monday.. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We have 4 more days till the kids will be out of school; how crazy is this? Didn’t the year just start… Boy I must have had way too much fun, since time sure is flying.

We are still trying to eat from our Stockpile, we haven’t found a super sale to buy or stock up on, what’s up with that? Where are all the sale??

We decided to incorporate at least one German dish each week, so far we’ve done pretty good, you can check out some of my German dishes HERE.  This week I really wanted some more Cheese Spaetzle and Hubby wants to learn how to make them, can’t wait. This will be so much fun, have you had Spaetzle before? If not, you don’t know what you are missing.

Funny thing, I was at my neighbors Birthday party this past weekend and the first thing she said was “Melanie, I need your help, you are German, I need a recipe for something that’s called Spa…. “ and before she finished I told her I had one and it’s already on my Blog…lol.

Spaetzle are very popular at least where I’m from in the South Bavaria area; they are like little dumplings and can be used in so many ways like in soup, with roast and gravy, add cheese and onions you have cheese spaetzle and many more creations. Add some onions and Mushrooms and you have another yummy creation…possibilities are endless  

If you are looking for a Spaetzle maker, check out Amazon.com, they have a bunch of different ones and most are under $10.00 really an awesome deal and I guarantee you, your folks will love them….

Let’s see, what will we eat this week…..
